David B. Ritchie,
77,
Businessman, of Huntingtown, MD, who built everything from boats to
garages to houses during 56 years of self-employment, died February 3,
2012 at the Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland Medical Center
in Baltimore, MD. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
David was born in Washington, DC in 1934 to Dr. William Suit Ritchie
and Mildred Ryon Ritchie; he grew up in Ritchie, MD, now part of
present day District Heights, MD. In 1946 his family purchased a beach
cottage in Calvert County where he and his sisters spent many
memorable summers. During these early summers he developed an avid
interest in boating, crabbing, and fishing which he enjoyed throughout
his lifetime.
Before graduating from Eastern
High School in Washington, DC in 1952, he met his future wife, Esther
Ann, who was enrolled in the same Spanish class. They married in 1955,
the same year David began building boats in Anne Arundel County, MD.
The boat business thrived for over 20 years during which time a
marina-campground was purchased in Calvert County. While operating the
marina full time David turned his boat building skills to home
building and constructed his first house in 1980. Decades of building
houses and garages followed. David never retired from the construction
business.
He is survived by his bride of
56 years, Esther Ann, daughter, Cheryl Ritchie, of Chesapeake Beach,
MD, son, Mark Ritchie, daughter-in-law, Kristin Ritchie, of Chesapeake
Beach, MD, granddaughter, Jordan Ritchie, and grandsons, Austin
Ritchie and Luke Ritchie. He is also survived by sisters Barbara
Crescenze, Nanette Stoffan, and Patricia Oliver and many nephews and
nieces as well as a special beagle named Sport.
Following his wishes, his
remains were cremated. A memorial service will be held at Chesapeake
Church, 6201 Solomons Island Road, Huntingtown, MD 20639 on March 31,
2012 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, attendees will be encouraged to
share memories about David’s life and legacy. Memorial announcements
will be communicated via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Memory-of-David-Grandpop-Ritchie/223785951048945
____________________________________
Don Kleinhen, NECA President 2/6/12
We
are all very saddened by the passing of David but we also celebrate his
life and his accomplishments. David was an accomplished craftsman and
a successful entrepreneur. David loved the water and building
things. I will always remember one of the first boats David built
it had multi-colored circles painted on the sides and he called it
bubbles. He later owned Breezy Point, which included the marina,
beach, boat rentals, snack bar, and bath house. Boat building was
in his blood, he founded the Broadwater boat company in Mayo
Maryland 1956 – 1978. Dave’s building enthusiasm later
extended to his establishment of Homes America Corporation
in Huntingtown.
We send out
condolences to Dave’s wife Esther
Ann, his children Cheryl and Mark and the rest of the Ritchie family.

I would appreciate it if you would put this information on the Neeld

Thank you,
Gayden and Debbie Thompson
5/24/10
email
received from Gayden Thompson:
For those of you who did not see Dad’s
Obituary in the Washington Post, it is below:
Clay Edward Thompson, Jr., a resident of
Falls Church, Virginia and Huntingtown, Maryland for over fifty years,
died on May 11th, 2010 at the age of 94 from complications
related to an internal infection. A native of Texas, Mr.
Thompson had an impressive career that included being a teacher, an
actor, radio station owner, Air Force pilot and senior official in the
Department of Defense. He is survived by his wife of 67 years,
Polly Thompson, and two sons, Gayden Thompson, of Oakton, Virginia who
was a career Army Officer and also Deputy Under Secretary of the Army,
and Clay Allan Thompson, of Fairfax, Virginia. Mr. Thompson’s
only grandchild, Ryan Thompson, of Washington, DC, served as an
officer in the Marine Corps in Iraq.
Born in McLean, Texas in 1915, Mr.
Thompson was the eldest son of Clay Thompson and Nora Beall Thompson.
He had two brothers, Noel and Aubrey who are deceased. Mr.
Thompson’s father was a banker who moved his family from McLean to
Amarillo before settling in Lubbock, Texas, where he was a senior
corporate executive of the “Piggly Wiggly” grocery store chain.
After graduating from Texas Technological
College in 1936, Mr. Thompson, who was a speech and drama major, went
to work initially as a radio announcer and then as a high school
teacher in Graham, Texas, but as a result of his acting talent was
soon offered a scholarship to study with Max Reinhardt in Hollywood,
California. This led to a movie studio contract and stage
career.
The looming war clouds, though, led Mr.
Thompson to volunteer prior to Pearl Harbor for training as an Air
Corps pilot in a distinguished class that included a fellow actor,
Jimmy Stewart. Mr. Thompson flew B-17 and B-24 bombers during
World War II, and also served as an instructor pilot. At the end
of World War II, Mr. Thompson served in the initial occupation force
in Japan and was the first commander of Irumagawa Air Field, north of
Tokyo, which later became Johnson Air Base.
After returning from Japan, Mr. Thompson
entered the Air Force Reserve and started and operated several radio
stations in Texas. Among the on-air announcers he found and
mentored was “High Pockets” Duncan, who later became famous as the
man who discovered Buddy Holly, the 1950s rock-and-roll star.
He was recalled to active duty at the
beginning of the Korean War, was integrated into the Regular Air Force
and assigned to Carswell Air Force Base in Texas, where he commanded a
unit of B-36s in the Strategic Air Command. It was during this
assignment that he had the distinction of being one the few Air Force
officers to have piloted an aircraft that dropped hydrogen bombs in
testing at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific.
Electing to continue to serve on active
duty, Colonel Thompson had assignments in Paris, France and
Washington, DC before retiring in 1972. He then embarked on a
career as a civilian official in the Department of Defense, where he
was the Chief of the Security Review Office in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, and was
instrumental in authoring the implementing guidelines for the
Department’s fulfillment of the Freedom of Information Act.
Retiring for good in 1985, he settled into
a life that took him and his wife Polly, who had a distinguished
20-year career of her own as a member of the Executive Office of the
President at the White House, regularly between their homes in Falls
Church and Plum Point on the Chesapeake Bay.
Burial, with full military honors, at
Arlington National Cemetery, is scheduled for Thursday, August 26 at
3:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, it is asked that a
contribution be made to Pathway Homes of Fairfax, Virginia.
Mr. Thompson’s remains are being handled
by Money and King Funeral Home of Vienna, Virginia

It
is with great sadness that I write to inform you of

illnesses and departed this world for a more
peaceful and restful place.
As
we all grieve the passing of this charismatic
and accomplished man, let us remember the wonderful
memories each of us shared with Gene.

Walter
R. Cubbage, Sr. (90)
of Neeld Estate, Huntingtown
,MD.
passed away at home on June 16, 2008 with his family by his
side.
Preceded
in death by his wife of 56 years, Josephine E. Cubbage. Loving
father of Walter (Bud) Jr. (Cherry), Dorothy Oliver
(Brent). Grandfather of Michael Oliver (Debbie), Steven Oliver
(Suzanne), Amy Cronin (Tim), Anna Mitchell (Todd), Sarah and
Andrew Cubbage. Great-Grandfather of Kaleigh and Connor
Cronin, Dylan Oliver, Glen (Karen), Shannon and Tracy Hudson.
Great-Great Grandfather of Mathew and Morgan Hudson.
Walt
was born to Henry and Ethel Cubbage on December 24, 1917, on a
farm in
Stanley
, VA.
, he was one of 11 children and is survived by one sister,
Cora Stallard of Stanley, VA;
Walt was a United States Army
WWII Veteran and served our country honorably from 1941
-1945. He
saw a lot of action during the war. When the campaign of New
Georgia in the Pacific was under way, his unit was cut
off by the enemy for 5 days, without food or water. They had
over 132 casualties and many wounded. His job during the war
was bulldozer operator and he took his dozer and cut a road
thru the jungle so help could arrive. He did this under very
heavy gunfire. When he was finished his bulldozer was riddled
with bullets, but he was unharmed. He was awarded the Silver
Star Medal, the military’s third highest medal for his
actions that day, and later received a Commendation for
Outstanding Service, the American Defense Medal, Good
Conduct Medal, and Asiatic Pacific Service Ribbon, honors
he was very proud of, but being the humble man that he was, he
never spoke of it. Through the years he remained friends with
his Army buddies and they would meet for lunch the first
Tuesday of the month at Tucker’s Restaurant in Upper
Marlboro.
He
retired from the Washington Star Newspaper Co. and later
worked for the
Calvert Independent
in Prince Frederick. He was a member of
Emmanuel
United
Methodist
Church,
Huntingtown,
MD, the 117th Combat Engineers, and Mt. Herman Lodge.
He
was an avid golfer, woodworker, community volunteer and all
around good guy.
In 1981 he won the Neeld Estate Horseshoe Tournament and in
1983 he won the Neeld Estate Golf Tournament. Last year he won
"Most Patriotic" in the Neeld Estate 4th of July
Parade. In 2006 he was declared "Oldest Permanent
Resident by Age at the N.E. 75th Anniversary Celebration.
Walt loved his family, his church, his friends, his Army
buddies, his neighbors, his country and living in Neeld
Estate. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell.
He was truly a blessed man, but really, we were the ones who
were blessed by knowing him and having him in our lives.

Hartung; a brother, Chester Burgess of Huntingtown, Maryland; four
children: Bruce of Montpelier, Vermont; Douglas of Baltimore,
Maryland; Jeanne Burks of Medway, Ohio; and Scott of McHenry,

attended Langton Elementary School, Taft Junior High School and
McKinley Technology High School. After attending Art and Design
School in Boston, she worked as an interior designer for several
businesses in the Washington DC area. In 1951 Lucile married
Marvin Rowe and they lived in Takoma Park and Silver Spring,
Maryland. Marvin was a physicist who worked for the Naval Ordnance

design business and retired from it after 25 years of successful
design work for individuals and businesses throughout the

Mackall April 8, 2004
He was known by all of us in Neeld Estate as just simply
"Roosevelt", not many even knew his last name or where he
lived. He was a fixture in our community for many years and I'm sure we all
have a "Roosevelt" story to tell. I know I do! To me
he was someone I thought would be here forever, someone who always stopped his truck
to say 'hi', and to see what was up. "Roosevelt... We'll miss you."

These techniques reduce the biggest pollutants in the Bay,
sediment and nutrients, (nitrogen
and phosphorous),
by restoring natural filters.
